I'm 5 ft 11 in. 154 lbs today. My normal target is 1250 calories F/Sa/Su and Tu/Wed. 600 calories on Monday/Thursday. Calories are 30% protein, 30% fat, 40% carb. I track intake using MyFitnessPal. I started at 191 in Jan 2016. My "low" in 2018 was 143. The altered schedules from COVID and my wife's development of Type 1 diabetes in August 2019 has made it more difficult to totally control my food intake and cater to my wife's desire for some variability of food types. I've keep my body fat around 15%. It was 13.7% at 143.

As an ongoing "check" to ensure things aren't breaking, I study Welsh, German and Scots Gaelic. Friday nights include 90 minutes at the roller rink. A good way to burn some calories and maintain good balance and coordination. My day job is computer science converting legacy Windows/Linux applications to run in Docker with Kubernetes/Helm and internal refactoring to microservices that are "composable" with a mix of Docker containerized apps. Nothing too strenuous :-)

My biggest concern if things get really bad is sufficient insulin for my wife and sufficient dog chow for the pups.

Applause (in awe and respect).
Take a bow, sir.

I was going to be really snarky and suggest that the one problem might solve the other, but...

Your dietary regime is already awesome, Myrddin. Your mental regime is awesomer.

One question, though: Your age?

Regards,
